Mobile Home Investment

Hi everyone,

I am a new investor and I have been looking into mobile homes a bit for buying and renting out. In my area you can buy them anywhere from 45-80k roughly and they can rent from $800-$1,000 a month. What are the downsides to mobile home investing? It seems like you can bring in more rent per dollar invested compared to single family homes. I am interested to know everyone's thoughts. Thanks!

sincerely,

Mark

Jefferson does mobile home parks, not mobile homes.  I'm certain he has owned and will continue to own homes as any park owner inevitably will but, as a rule, we like to get rid of them as soon as we can.    If you want to invest in the homes @John Fedro is the man.
